Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) delivered a masterclass in pacing and power, conquering the brutal uphill TT in 23 minutes flat to claim his fourth stage win of the Tour.
Racing without a team radio and opting for a lightweight road bike, Pogačar extended his GC lead to +4:07 over Jonas Vingegaard, who finished second on the day.
Primož Roglič surged back into podium contention with a third-place finish, while Remco Evenepoel faltered, dropping off the GC podium.
Florian Lipowitz and Oscar Onley continued their consistent climbs, now sitting fourth and fifth overall.
With gradients peaking at 16%, this rare mountain TT was a pure climber’s test—and Pogačar proved untouchable.
